I used a program called Ease Audio Converter for large batches of files and changing bit rates. Couldn't fault it.

Out of interest, what are you using it for? what kinda files are you looking to convert from

Is there any tool that performs a quick conversion of single files? I find opening iTunes/SUPER/Audacity to cumbersome for one file.

Any quick one?

http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.php - for LAME, the actual mp3 encoder. You can use this from the commandline if you are that way inclined, or these two programs offer a lightweight GUI (as well as doing other stuff):

http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/

Alternatively there are ways to put it into Windows Explorer's right click menu so you can just right click on the file to convert.

I use this.

Just gives you a menu to right click on the file and convert.

No spyware\malware and have been using it for the last year with no problems.

You'll need to install the application and the plugins separately.
